Have you seen a first edition stamp that was fake but it was so good it could pass for the real thing? How common is this?
Fake stamps are not that common. Especially convincing fake stamps.

rattle has some videos where psa graded a fake 1st ed charizard and 1st ed machoke
link here:
These are rather old certs and pre covid era, and it’s likely have better ways to differentiate them now.

I made a video a year ago showing multiple fake stamped cards that made it through psa. All with new certs.

these are relatively new but still around 2 years ago. I wonder if PSA would catch them if they were sent in now. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are fake 1st stamps indistinguishable from real ones, which would make it impossible to tell they’re fake in the first place.
